Boomer Esiason

" Welcome back it is that's as Patriot money as an NFL NFL Monday as well what does Boomer Esiason is joining us on the AT&T outline AT&T your world -- Let me be the last one to wish you happy new year -- good morning. They appear do you go as well part that is about finally. -- what do you heard more over the last couple weeks. Is Brett Favre -- back is built our coaching the Jets as you evidence and -- those hot topics in New York."

" Well I've heard all of sudden one tower is not -- turning to the coaching sidelines -- You know he told replied yes but I ask them on the record you have to have had a lot of discussions with -- of the last few weeks. Is that you know what I decided not to go back to the sideline this year boomer but that doesn't rule out. You know next year after our you know after the year's over but. Seem like he's pretty content and pretty happy as far as Brett Favre is concerned I think that if you were the general manager of the New York Jets. And you pitted for a forty year old quarterback thirteen million dollars to come back that would be year you know you're due ticket right out of town. Vote. He's not going to play for the Jets next year that's I don't see that happen."

" driving force on the show yesterday to -- pretty much at the head of the program the -- let's get this over with -- producers say it's it's a huge topic we have to -- with it."

" I think a little bit of both but they dole is just just completely inundated -- our requests for interviews so all last week in. Certainly with the -- you know coach situation right now. Used topic number one everywhere I -- hard you know match must be like for him so. The boy goes to get that out of the way let's talk about it let's put everybody knows exactly where you're coming from. And it's about the -- he's actually been saying for the last you know three to four weeks in. He's been trying to it to be very respectful I think guys towards. You know coaches in their position especially the coaches that word tenuous their situation and again he would be the opportunities right now do we fit exactly what he wants don't not a fact. The Jets outside of Oakland could be the worst situation for new coach to step into."

" Was big spring and that job it's kind of -- big story appeared today. Warmer than Jeff today Gusinsky is scheduled interview. With the Jets today and if he does he may get fired. Just for interview -- Boston College Boston call."

" I have heard that aren't important all piled up -- ham and that was the situation. Wouldn't take B wouldn't take the interview. Simply because I think he's probably low man on the pole -- some down here that are wondering. You know just have blown to Brett -- because certainly he knows Brett Favre from -- today yeah. I don't I don't think that's the case at all -- back. If I had to get the leader in the clubhouse right after the Jerricho beastie spectacle to PC via very. Popular pick and it's somebody that might count about the general manager I still -- control. After that knows you look at -- look at Brian Billick maybe that that would be a you know the delicate for them IU one person I haven't heard and I'm surprised I haven't heard it is Russ Grimm and offensive line coach from Pittsburgh. Who a couple years ago was like the stalling of everybody and then missed out on the few jobs but also. Comes with the steal a pedigree and also knows the 34 deep -- which I think is going to be Paramount. For somebody to come here because if you really pay attention to the Jets on how closely guys look at it. They go from 34. Under Parcells an -- to a 43 under Herman Edwards to a -- back to a report. Under Eric Mangini and there. Running guys -- here first you know first rounder is Johnson bill mark James barrier that -- Robertson. -- spend money on guys that fit -- new system. I think they have to find somebody. That can be happy with a three or maybe it's Rex Ryan defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens so those are probably 45 of the top candidates right now."

" A boomer does the success of some first your first time new bloody head coaches. Sort of put. Knock the pins out from underneath the old boy network that you know the Marty Schottenheimer -- media and the jump fossils might have less of an opportunity based on the success of some new faces we've seen this year."

" I think that has not been doing that. I know that when you have guys like Mike Shanahan -- in his jaw open. Got the -- powers that are out there you know those kind of coaches. Going to have a lot of say in personnel and they're going to be very expensive for the owners. So the owners now are trying to find. Who could be that next guy that you can catch lightning in a bottle weapon. And and part to hold down I think the cost them in the salary of the head coach so I would think that those. The types of guys -- you development corporate guys like I think -- for instance who's going to be interviewed for the St. Louis dropped. Is -- guy right now that seems to me to be somewhat desperate looking for any kind. He'd given the fact that you know he went through negative Pittsburgh to Baltimore under Brian Billick -- would not be surprised. A guy like judge of awful just take the job just to get himself back into the --"

" Does the lack of success of Mangini and Cornell in New York in Cleveland respectively help hurt or have no effect on whether Josh mcdaniels gets a head coaching job this year."

" Other relate as they're going to do that I I think you know each. Coach if you will is. You know it was kind of in his own situation and the situation here perk Mangini has the last week is indicated. A lot of it sounds like it's at the feet of my kind of on the general manager because. You know I don't think -- wanted. Brett Favre that I think you realize that he couldn't control on and then no matter how poorly Brett Favre played. He was going to be on the field -- watch it and I don't know if you guys know who Tedy analysis seems the boxing. Kind of work out guru who was a very close friend Eric Mangini and last week he came out and said some very unkind things about Brett Favre. About help self she wasn't supplier and how he didn't. -- moloch moment. -- Mangini wasn't you know so excited about coaching him on all that stuff start could not Thomas Jones took shots out of Kerry Rhodes took shots that. Brett Favre and ugly sound like to me Eric Mangini being that deep sense of kind of guy. Would be completely against dealing with a quarterback that's going to -- 22 receptions and as these and so like to -- you know. It's Mike Tannenbaum now gets in the heat. Not so much Eric Mangini. "

" They went Mangini go on does -- improve relations with the Patriots which. It's gonna have to happen if they're going to make. From run it and Matt Cassel -- the Patriots will trade Cassel. It seems like the Jets neither quarterback and guess in the New York. Reporters write his beat guys that tabloids will be all over that when Cassel finally goes on the market."

" Well it it if in fact the Patriots I guess. Slap the franchise tag on Matt Cassel temple we might might have already happened or it might happen how -- It's going to happen right there's no way to pitcher to treat. -- In the division that's the one thing I can almost. Without knowing. Anything. Behind the scenes but knowing the people that are involved there's no way. The Patriots are going to let Matt Cassel go within the division and the Mets want him did you actually make a mistake is that they let Chad tank and they would send it to this point Green Day. Traded Brett Favre -- that he really want to go you want to go to Minnesota right. But -- they would not thought that happens so there's no way. That that I believe that the Patriots to let Matt Cassel go to the Jets the other aspect of all of this. -- that the more about the whole spy gate videotaping stuff ironically it was emanating from Mike kind of bounced off as. Not so much from Eric Mangini office almost seemed like Eric Mangini -- last couple years what applauded. In a lot of this stuff whether BB whether it be despite -- video gates up. Or just did the Brett Favre like he was just the head coach and general manager was and so on this is what we're don't and that is I would dormant. Care what you think just coached football team. And the more that we hear in the more -- that comes out of jet -- it seem like that's the way it is."

" town ball -- given all the people he brought in given the lack of success given the Brett Favre thing given the fact that he hired Mangini."

" While I don't think people approach now now of the of the writers are starting to write about some of the things that have gone on here. You know -- and anytime you fell to reach expectations. I I do believe everybody's in the firing line there's no question about especially down here. And I also understand that -- kind of bounce probable insulated himself -- a lot of ways by. Becoming very close two Woody Johnson the owner of the New York Jets does it like. What he feels very comfortable with Mike and Al -- It probably has an -- communication very good with the ownership. And and there's no question Mike is clearly the guys in -- he's the guy that is making all the decisions regarding personnel. And who the next coach will --"

" over the so weekend so wild card weekend which performance was the most impressive to you and which winner. Surprised you the most."

" You know I think outfit San Diego Chargers. At home against Indianapolis. Was the biggest surprise remaining. Similar because -- compliance so well on Peyton Manning and good points alone rally. Indianapolis had a great shot to win the game at the end of the game as the third and two like on the road what are what are your money your -- whatever laws. Or nine yard line that they didn't convert there at the end of the game that and that of course in the given who would thank. That a punter Mike Scifres is going to be BM VP of that game I mean Darren Sproles was great don't get it wrong. But the -- for San Diego was on real I mean has ponds. I kept backing up in the offense which -- to to be portable that by the San Diego when and I came to me was probably. The biggest surprise. I was a little bit surprised that the -- errors on one about their offensive -- implant in the fact that Edgerrin James. Taken off the shelf and he played really well ran really well and he pass blocks really well it's one of the things that nobody really talks about. As far as the other games -- against that it was pretty predictable you know you have to. Really good defenses. Baltimore just been unbelievable as -- assault the Miami. And then of course Tarvaris Jackson was ultimately be Achilles heel for the Minnesota Vikings yet. No way the to handle. Jim Johnson defense coordinator Philadelphia -- kind of blitzing packages and you could see that as the game was going on that he was really struggling."

" Do you see a team this weekend that you. That could win a Super Bowl mean do you think it was the team and are you picked the Giants and a lot of people pick in the Giants and they might have a pretty easy road. To the Super Bowl was thirteen yesterday that has the ability to winnable when."

" I think the Eagles are being equal comin' to beat the Giants if we can understand Donovan McNabb is -- as he has at times the one -- another -- the guy is you know he's he beat play is that he's a playmaker and he'll have one of those up and down games on the regular season like he did against Washington -- Q did against Cincinnati and then. Don't have a whole OP explanation I didn't know there were ties and all that those that just drives you crazy. But you know he also. Compete big game. And he never looks like he's overwhelmed not you know I always say that when I watch some of his games I feel lack of sense of urgency if you will. -- just -- his whole demeanor but that's just who he is yesterday even though Jared Allen seemed to be in the backfield the entire game and knock in the ball out of his hands and Vietnam. The one thing about Donovan McNabb they'll just get up they'll continue to apply in. You know they they are a team that has battled tested could they play at a very difficult division. -- like they've been playing like San Diego the last 45 weeks of the year. You know football where they lose they're out. Umpire I wouldn't be surprised that they come in here beat the Giants but also there's a part time part I woke up this morning. I'd be glad that I play in the Philadelphia Eagles because you know they embarrassed me in my home stadium not to long ago on I'd want a piece of them."

" pretty impressed with Baltimore it seems to be you know based on how they can play defense that wasn't. You know that -- a rookie quarterback Matt Ryan took apart that wasn't even the Achilles heel to -- Jackson. It was Chad Pennington had been around the block a couple of times in the middle look silly."

" That he looked well like usual but overwhelmed yesterday but when you watch -- game -- I what I saw -- thought team defense. So much faster -- in the office there were planned I think Miami only had three wide receivers active yesterday. And a lot of that game was played with two tight ends and two wide receivers. And their spread offense -- you're not going to be the defense. You know when you -- when he got young guys run around out there that are get pushed around in. They seem to be a lot slower outside. And then Baltimore laws and what they'll play about this week's matchup between Baltimore -- Kerry Collins. Has not played well against the tighten against raven defense over the before him that he's played against them. -- eight interceptions three touchdowns of 45. And you know this is going to be like I would think for Jeff Fisher the worst team that he could actually play at this juncture because Baltimore is going to command and there are going to. A poignant and they're going to get all over Karrie --"

" It wasn't the same Arizona cardinal team was at the -- this weekend that came to Foxboro and just did David show up that cut the crap compatible."

" That trial lawyer Edmond James made a nice return and they're deep and -- really good. But their defensive line in the second half especially completely. Took Michael -- out of the game in the pressure to score -- of course scored a touchdown. And then they were they got screwed out of you know safety earlier in the game so I'm it was just terrible officiated game -- bought. But the other aspect of this now they got a goal. Back east coast going to be planet Carolina team that should run right through them I mean -- you take these -- today. And over the weekend and you say okay who'd eluded the particular teams play that want. And then you -- yourself okay now would they going on the road apply. I just -- the Arizona stand very closed the Carolina."

" I told my friends and call me man Arizona at Carolina Saturday night primetime who want to miss that the yeah."

" Altamont get a -- playoffs for the --"

" I you know what maybe I'm being provincial here but it seems like this message -- this you boomer maybe. Patriots and now the Colts mean it's seems likes when most of teams in the Rose. Those coaches those quarterbacks are there it seemed to -- and you tell me the on chosen NBC going to feel it's. Carolina and Tennessee in this."

" I don't -- to rabbit beat their epic they're open floor but I suggest that they Pittsburg in the and the giant some. But it just think that you guys talk about the some of -- also he's an issues in other Colts have got some major money issues. The debt the deal with I think Peyton Manning at this point going to count like for 23 million dollars. Against the salary cap with the Indianapolis Colts composed Marvin Harrison. I think it's somewhere between seven and eight million dollars on the salary cap goals for the Indianapolis Colts they have some very. Very tough decisions to make here in the offseason and I would imagine that Peyton Manning will probably readjust his salary in some way shape or form maybe in the form of opponents but. You know they're very bad and tough decisions and I got there and Indianapolis."

" And then say goodbye to Marvin Harrison don't think --"

" I would think so too much he takes less money to come back in. We all we knew we certainly don't know whether or not Tony Dungy is going to come back but you sought his interview on Monday on Saturday night. My sense is that I think he wants to come back to realize is that he has one of the great quarterbacks of all time. And that you know every game that they play they get a chance to win because --"

" A -- obligatory Manny question I. What are the chances ends up in New York now I'm either either place Mets Yankees me it seems like he's running out of options. What is New York teams has to step up and and and -- when every once don't think."

" You know I keep your preferences go. You know I don't know that's going to take place but I was probably the Mets -- Going to go former really not --"

" I won't don't know you you don't want him as a met."

" I don't want him and I put a lot of one arm and on number one what he did the Red Sox. -- this season this year and and I think not only the fact that he. You know faked an injury and didn't want to play about you know when he's up against submariner Rivero three straight ball right on the metal plate -- they. The out of his shoulder I mean to me you don't want that type of guys around you young players you want that type guy -- You're locked on the matter how good -- Saturday -- serious you know and all -- to do take a look at another doubt Cowboys. -- also -- party heard about people saying you know that the great you know roster they have a great players. Now there is no. Cohesiveness there's no there's no team down there there. Did did does not substance that franchise. Because of all the individuals maybe the biggest individual all on sports and that's Terrell Owens. And that's what Manny Ramirez's no matter how great -- is I think Carol long is going to be a hall of famers some damage to wait for that speech depending on which -- shows up. But I you know -- minute Ramirez's right there with -- I mean -- and I know that there are guys that he played with that that all of them and probably feel like he's a good teammate all of those. What you asked the Red Sox players to vote as to whether or not they wanted the players -- in only one guy boats in his favor I think that says. Volumes about the character of of but teammate and at what his team thinks about them. And that's not the type of guy that I would like to have on Monday."

" You before you say good -- congratulations of that big -- of the Nevada school culinary delights."

" Yeah -- humanitarian bowl I appreciate that. Out for college Duke. Did so well the Jets are going to be on their coach Rod Taylor time Boston College -- who's going to play Maryland."

" They ordered they're going to go to lunch with Ralph free agent but the can't afford that."

" Are different arbitrary and -- appreciate that -- overlapping valuable talked next week. But I doubt it very terrible northwestern on the eighteenth Seahawks live AT&T your world that Dennis and Callahan."
